The message sent by Nantes Métropole concerns 103,000 Nantes households: “Nantes users using the Tri'Sac system are invited to keep their yellow bags at home, as much as possible, for the next two weeks”.

Clearly, they are asked not to put their yellow bag, devoted to recyclable waste, in the usual collection bin.

The reason ?

Maintenance work has been carried out since Monday at the Alcea waste treatment and recovery plant, located Prairie de Mauves in Nantes.

They will end on September 3.

Recycle rather than incinerate

During the work, the yellow bags that would still be placed in the bins will be incinerated, like the blue bags.

In order to "allow their recycling" when the time comes, Nantes Métropole therefore recommends that the inhabitants concerned be patient.

Waste collection is normally carried out for other inhabitants of the Nantes metropolis who are not in the Tri'Sac system (but in a system of yellow and blue bins, or translucent bags).
